Draft event cannot be saved

This hands-on workshop invites you to step into the living art of bonsai, where you'll be guided through the entire process of developing, designing, and caring for your very own tree. From raw material to a stunning starter Bonsai, each person will plant it in a proper Bonsai pot and leave with a living masterpiece they have shaped themselves.

All materials are included – tree, pot, soil, tools, wire, and everything else needed to bring their vision to life.

Dawid is a National Bonsai Demonstrator (NZBA) and has been growing Bonsai for more than forty years.

And for those who wish to take their bonsai journey even further: This workshop can also be the perfect conclusion to a truly unique experience – one where participants craft the very pot their bonsai can call home. Earlier in April, ceramic and bonsai artist Robyne Dowdall is offering Fresh Pots - Ceramic Bonsai Pot Workshop, a rare opportunity to design and hand-build a ceramic bonsai pot. Imagine shaping not only the tree but the vessel it lives in – two workshops, one complete creative vision!
